Irvine, CA (Sports Network) - UC Irvine held the Aggies of UC Davis scoreless
in overtime as the Anteaters captured the 69-58 win in the Big West Conference
opener for both squads at the Bren Events Center.

Adam Folker and Daman Starring both scored 15 points for UCI (7-7, 1-0 Big

their second loss in the last three games.

Irvine shot just 34.4 percent from the floor in the first half, adding just 5-
of-12 at the free-throw line, but because the Aggies never even made a trip to

at the break, down just four points at 34-30.

In the second half the largest lead was just six points and while Hawkins gave
the Aggies a 58-56 lead with 11 seconds left in regulation, Starring responded
with a jumper of his own in the waning moments in order to send the meeting
into overtime.

In the extra session Starring scored the first five points for the hosts and
the Irvine defense held the Aggies without a single point, en route to the
double-digit win.
